Victoria Sponge.

vic. sponge + eggs

" Unless you want a very crunchy sponge!!:)"Love it!Annafra, Don't get too hung up about the sizes of eggs. The fresher they are the more they weigh, because eggs steadily lose moisture after they're laid. Buying from supermarkets one wouldn't have a clue how old they are.

I have made many of these sponges successfully, including Delia's but in all my life I've never weighed the eggs. If a recipe asks for small, medium or large, then that's what I go by.Go for it and my memory banks are telling me that if you do feel you must weigh them, it's with the shells on.

I've made the sponge: I weighed 4 eggs without shell (215 g) and I considered the same amount of all the rest of ingredients, I mean 215 g of softned butter, 215g of sugar and 215g of self rising flour (two tins of 22 cm diameter).It is perfect, no need more liquid, very soft. I also addedd lemon zest in the batter as flavour. Thank you and try it. anna
